Dining Hall manager arrested

The manager of North Dining Hall at Notre Dame has been arrested and charged with incest and sexual misconduct with a minor, according to an ABC 57 report published Monday.

The manager, Jose Cortes, allegedly had inappropriate sexual contact with “a relative under the age of 16,” according to the report, which also claimed Cortes admitted to several instances of “inappropriately touching” the girl. The report said the girl is either 14 or 15 years old.

University spokesperson Dennis Brown said in an email that Notre Dame has placed Cortes on leave while the case progresses.
